Yet, so far, she hadn't been doing a very good job at that.
Then again, the battle had just begun.
His expression intensified as he swiftly prepared several Mighty Roar Flash Blasts.
"...You're right," She murmured. "This is important."
THWOOM THWOOM THWOOM!
The attacks were powerful supersonic sound bullets that were extremely difficult to sense once released.
Yet he could only widen his eyes in shock as she weaved past them in a manner that partially defied his predictive model!
The peril that she exerted on him began growing.
For the first time in the battle, she went on the offence. She rushed forward with a speed that beggared the imagination.
BAM!!
A powerful blow crashed into Rui's guard. He gritted his teeth as he used Flux Earther to disperse her impact to the ground.
Yet she wasn't done.
POW POW POW!
His guard rattled as her strikes continued growing stronger and faster!
Ecstasy flashed across her face as she continued hammering him with incredible blows!
Rui watched her with the eye of a hawk.
Her weight shifted.
His eyes narrowed as he predicted a lower hook in two beats.
POW!
His eyes widened as the attack a lot sooner than it was supposed to!
BOOM!
He grimaced as he barely managed to block an absurdly swift flying knee kick. Yet just a moment later, a powerful high kick flying at his head threatened to knock him out.
FLICK!
He leapt back. The edge of her foot had struck his forehead, cutting it open with the sheer friction it generated.
The wound itself didn't matter. His healing factor had already clotted and was slowly mending it.
What mattered was the fact that she had completely bypassed his predictive model.
Sure, it wasn't complete by any means, yet she invalidated it like it had been wrong from the very get-go.
This had happened before as well.
Somehow, she invalidated the prediction of his predictive model.
'However... She's only invalidating the timing.' His eyes narrowed. 'Not the actionpredicted. In other words, she simply underwent an inexplicable boost in speed on a fundamental level.'
He had noticed that he predicted the hook, the flying knee kick, and the high kick. The only thing he had gotten wrong was the timing. That could be fatal. If not for Primordial Instinct, he may very well have gotten knocked out then and there.
His sharp mind had noticed another pattern.
'She invalidated the timing of my prediction after the pressure and threat she radiated underwent a spike...' Rui's eyes narrowed.
A germ of an idea entered his head.
